Get Lost Female Protagonist! I Choose the Villainess! - Chapter 28:

Chapter 28: Not Even All of Them Together Can Compare to Ling Kong:

Suddenly, loud cheers erupted around them.

“They won… they won! Oh my god!”

“Amazing! Truly amazing! They really took it down!”

“No wonder it’s Ling Kong, no wonder it’s Jiang Ruoxi!”

“Aren’t they the idols of our Sword Cloud Sect?”

“Perfect coordination!”

“Don’t you think they make a great pair?”

“What do you mean great pair? They’re meant to be together!”

“That’s right, they’re teammates in this hunting competition!”

“Our sect’s top male and female idols, how could they not be a perfect match?”

“Oh my, I’m jealous again!”

The crowd cheered and praised them.

Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi’s coordination, though simple, was perfect.

The moment they beheaded the red-haired thunder ape with their dual swords was nothing short of spectacular!

Ling Kong was recognized as the strongest disciple in the sect and widely acknowledged as the top male idol.

Jiang Ruoxi was similarly acclaimed as the top female idol.

Judging by their relationship, it seemed they were moving toward becoming a couple.

They were outstanding both inside and out, with similar personalities. Weren’t they a perfect match made in heaven?

As they praised, they didn’t forget to express their gratitude.

“Great, now we can get out of here!”

“I never thought we’d defeat this giant, but Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi did it!”

“Two Spirit Refinement Realm cultivators teamed up to take down a Spiritual Martial Realm beast! What an unbeatable record!”

“Thanks to our idols!”

Without Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi, they would have had no way to deal with this second-tier magical beast. But those two, along with a phantom ice wolf cub, managed it.

Nearby, Xia Yuran listened to everyone’s voices.

Hearing people talk about Jiang Ruoxi and Ling Kong being a perfect match made her feel like her heart was being scorched by fire.

She stared at Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi with envy, jealousy, and anger raging in her heart.

“Witch! What makes you so special?”

“If I had the phantom ice wolf cub, Ling Kong and I could have done the same!”

“You just got lucky!”

“What are you so proud of?”

“How are you and my Ling Kong a match? You’re not worthy!”

Xia Yuran gritted her teeth but only dared to say these things in her heart.

Opposite her, after defeating the red-haired thunder ape, Jiang Ruoxi quickly supported Ling Kong. “Are you okay?”

After all, Ling Kong had been the first to attack and had endured a lot of the ape’s lightning attacks.

“It’s nothing! Luckily, you made a breakthrough into the 9th stage Spirit Refinement Realm. Without your final strike, I wouldn’t have been confident in beheading it!” Ling Kong took a deep breath.

Without reaching the 9th stage Spirit Refinement Realm, their swords might have only caused superficial wounds to the ape.

In the original plot, he led a group, including Xia Yuran, to defeat it. But now, with Jiang Ruoxi at the 9th stage, it was enough.

“Without the Blood Spirit Fruit you gave me, my strike wouldn’t have been fatal either!” Jiang Ruoxi smiled.

Everything had gone according to Ling Kong’s plan. He had made sure she reached the 9th stage Spirit Refinement Realm before hunting the red-haired thunder ape. This guy had calculated everything precisely!

“Now, the first place is naturally yours!” Ling Kong smiled lightly. He turned and slashed the thunder ape’s head open, retrieving a beast crystal radiating faint lightning.

“Awoo? Awoooo…”

The phantom ice wolf cub, sensing the high-quality food, ran over, clawing at Ling Kong eagerly.

It wanted to eat!

The food it had eaten before didn’t compare to this beast crystal.

“I can’t give this to you!” Ling Kong smiled faintly. The little guy was immediately disappointed. It looked so tasty, right?

“Let’s go! The competition is over!” Ling Kong called.

With the 2nd-tier beast crystal, first place was secured.

“Yes!” Jiang Ruoxi nodded. She and Ling Kong walked toward the portal, leaving the rest to others. Their figures disappeared into the portal, followed quickly by the other students, who glanced one last time at the thunder ape’s corpse.

They would never forget that when everyone else was helpless, Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi had teamed up to defeat the giant beast. This battle would be remembered by all!

Xia Yuran stood there, stunned.

From the beginning, until they walked through the portal, Ling Kong hadn’t looked at her once. This proved that Ling Kong had truly… given up on her.

For a moment, Xia Yuran felt a sense of loss.

Ling Kong had always been her favorite person; why did he leave her over such a small matter?

Besides feeling lost, she also felt regret, but she didn’t want to show it.

“Yuran, they killed a 2nd-tier beast, so we probably can’t take first place!” Bai Feng and the others gathered their thoughts and spoke to Xia Yuran.

Xia Yuran bit her lip. “If we can’t get it, then we can’t! It’s not like we have the ability!”

“This…” Bai Feng and the others frowned.

Wasn’t she indirectly saying they were useless?

Saying that even all of them together couldn’t compare to Ling Kong alone?

“Wait! I have an idea!” Bai Feng suddenly said. “We might still have a chance to get first place!”
